Unfortunately it didn't come with the mesh screen (floor section) and the perspex window was all frosted up, but I thought a quick trip to my local DIY store would cure those minor problems. Unfortunately the shop didn't stock perspex or meshing! However, on the way back to the garage I came across some metal mesh dumped in a bush next to a bus stop - literally the perfect width as well! So, after a quick trim with the angle grinder and the persuation of a hammer to flatten it out, I had it sitting inside the cabinet perfectly snug!
Now I have just got to get some blast media and it will be good to go (albeit with a slightly frosty viewing window)!
EDIT (23/05/14): I now have some new Perspex (clear acylic/plexiglass) windows for the shot blast cabinet. I found that it was cheaper to order this stuff as a made to measure item online than it was to purchase a big sheet at a diy store, which would still need cutting down to size! The only real sting was the cost of postage – but I offset this cost by ordering 10 units at once, so this batch should last me some time!
